the platform

One system for skill, match, and control.

Matchmaking is the core of multiplayer. Do it well and it’ll show in player experience. Do it badly and it’ll shape your reputation.

the problem

The challenges facing every matchmaking team.

01 · A ROTTEN CORE

Skill ratings break under SBMM.

Skill ratings are the foundation of SBMM. Elo, TrueSkill, and OpenSkill break down under real-world matchmaking, so the error starts at the core.

02 · A GLORIFIED QUEUE

Most matchmakers just sort tickets.

Sorting players is easy, building logic to create quality matches is hard. Most matchmakers leave you to build it yourself.

03 · A BLACK BOX

Little control over matches made.

Do players have real chances to win or get dropped into games they'll lose nine times out of ten? Most matchmakers can't tell you.

Skill

The core SBMM depends on.

Skill ratings sit at the center of every match. The math has to be right.

  • Predictable before day one
    Ratings sit on a fixed scale that holds its shape, so you can predict the player distribution before a single match is played.
  • Skill and progression, combined
    Both live in one player-facing number. No more hidden MMR behind a cosmetic rank.
  • Tune it to your game
    Over thirty variables let you shape the algorithm into your own.

Match

The brains behind the match.

The logic that decides what makes a match good, built in from day one.

  • Nemesis, the engine at its core
    A pooled matchmaking engine that improves every match tick by tick instead of relaxing its constraints.
  • Fits the stack you already have
    Works with IVK Skill or any MMR you already use, plus your own servers and backend. IVK Match slots in and hands back the match.
  • Robust by design
    Keeps matching through node failures, traffic spikes, and bad config, with no manual intervention.
